What Makes Moong Dal Mathris A Must-Try?
Moong dal mathris offer a perfect balance of crunch and flavour. Infused with aromatic spices like ajwain, kasuri methi and kalonji, they bring a unique twist to the traditional mathri. They're not only delicious but also make for a satisfying tea-time snack or festive treat.
How To Ensure Moong Dal Mathris Turn Out Crispy?
To make your mathris crispy, knead a firm dough and roll them out evenly. Always fry them on medium heat. If the oil is too hot, they will turn brown too quickly without becoming crispy. If the oil is too cold, they will soak up too much oil.
How To Make Moong Dal Mathri | Mathri Recipe
Start by soaking moong dal in water for some time. Then, transfer it to a food processor and blend to form a smooth paste.
Transfer the paste to a bowl and add suji, ajwain, kalonji seeds, hing, kasuri methi, red chilli powder, salt, haldi, ghee and atta. Mix well to combine everything.
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it out evenly. Now, apply a slurry made with maida and ghee over it.
Roll it from one end to the other to form a log. Cut it into small pieces and roll them out again into mathri shapes.
Heat oil in a kadhai and deep-fry the mathris until they turn golden brown. Let them cool to room temperature and enjoy!

Yes, you can bake moong dal mathris as a healthier alternative. Preheat the oven to 180 degree C, place the rolled mathris on a greased baking tray and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and crisp. Flip them halfway for even browning.

'India changed my heart forever': US woman ditches ‘average' American life for something 'bold and extraordinary'
A New Chapter The Business of Living Differently That's the question Kristen Fischer asked herself before taking a life-altering leap. Leaving behind what she called an 'average' but comfortable life in the United States, Fischer moved to India with her husband Tim and their three daughters in 2021. Four years later, she says she has no regrets—only a now-viral video posted to Instagram , Fischer shared the soul-searching moment that spurred her family's move. 'I knew I had control of which direction to take my life. I could choose an average life in the USA, or I could choose to do something bold and extraordinary,' she said. Their decision, as it turns out, became a story of purpose, reinvention, and heartfelt connection with a country they now call settling in India, the Fischers have documented their life through vibrant videos showcasing their cultural explorations, street food trials, small-town joys, and even the emotional journey of adopting a daughter with special needs. 'In these past four years, I have met some amazing people, seen some incredible places, had some awesome food, and changed my heart forever,' she wrote. 'India has changed my life, and I will never be the same.'The couple's content, shared through their joint Instagram page, offers more than just picturesque visuals—it shares a worldview that places meaning over routine, and courage over bold relocation wasn't just emotional; it made practical sense too. In another video, Fischer broke down the financial logic behind their shift to India. She and Tim run a web development agency that serves mostly Western clients. 'We earn in US dollars and spend in Indian rupees,' she explained. 'It's simply easier for someone from the West to move to a place like India, where the cost of living is lower. It allows us to stretch our earnings and grow our business.'Their strategy highlights a growing trend among digital nomads and young families: reimagining lifestyle and work in ways that break the mold of traditional success. 'Plus, we get to live in a country we love. Seems like a win-win to me,' she and Tim Fischer's journey from the suburbs of America to the vibrant chaos and calm of India has resonated with many online. 'You only get one life,' Kristen reminds her audience. 'How will you live it?'

‘Strong knees, strong life!': Madhuri Dixit's husband Dr Shriram Nene shares golden advice for knee health
Madhuri Dixit's husband Dr Shriram Nene, a cardiothoracic surgeon and public health advocate, is on a quest to shares helpful tips on social media to keep the public aware. In a recent Instagram post, he advocated for knee health by sharing 5 easy tips that can build muscle strength and reduce pain in the knee joints. 'Strong knees, strong life! 💪 But when those joints start to ache, it's time to pay attention! 🦵 Swipe ➡️ for the lowdown on knee and bone care that'll keep you moving without the creaks and cracks. From the best exercises 🏋️♀️ to the foods you need for healthy bones 🍓, we've got your joints covered. Don't wait until it's too late – start caring today for a pain-free tomorrow! 🦴' he mentioned in his Instagram caption. Here are 6 of his key tips: Strong knees need activity but the right kind. Cycling, swimming and walking are his recommended options. 'Skip heavy impact workouts like jump squats and intense runs,' he said. Dr Vinay Kumaraswamy, Consultant-Orthopaedics, Fortis Hospital, Rajaji Nagar, explained cycling offers several benefits that help fight arthritis and knee pain. 'The low-impact nature of cycling minimises stress on joints compared to activities like running. This reduces wear and tear, and the continuous pedalling motion increases the production of synovial fluid, a lubricant crucial for healthy joints,' Dr Kumaraswamy explained Just 1kg extra is equal to 4kg on your knees. If you want pain free joints, start with your plate. Eat clean and move often. Dr Ramneek Mahajan, Director – Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement, Max Smart Super Specialty Hospital, Delhi told that 'every extra kilogram of weight can cause four times the pressure on the knees. Thus, take a stroll inside the house every hour to keep your knees active and avoid sitting in one place for long. If your knees are swollen, use ice packs or heat packs for relief.' Your knees aren't alone and they need support. 'Train your quads, hamstrings and calves. Do squats, leg lifts and curls 2-3 times a week,' he advised. 'Having a bad posture puts extra pressure on the joints, especially the knee, which is the largest load-bearing joint in the body. This can eventually cause knee pain. Alos, keep a tab on your weight and include weight-loss exercises in your everyday routine,' said Dr Mahajan. The wrong kind of shoe can cause knee damage in the long run. Choose cushioned footwear with arch support kicks. Avoid heels, flats and worn out sneakers. Your feet shape your posture and your knee health. In case you injure your knee, follow the RICE method for fast relief. R – Rest I – Ice C – Compression E – Elevation It is a simple method to reduce swelling and heal faster. Stiff muscles can lead to stressed knees. Daily 5 minutes of stretching can lead to relief and prevention from further pain. Try a standing squad stretch, calf stretch and hamstring stretch.
